Most of those killed were Muslim Brotherhood members, and the chain of events leading to the deaths were being hotly contested by the Brotherhood and the Egyptian Army. The Brotherhood claimed that those killed were innocent, doing nothing more than holding a sit-in against the ousting of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in what they described as an “illegal coup.”

Alice Walker, the princess of historical revisionism, still hysterical

Conveniently neglecting to point out the catalyst of terrorism, Walker begins her attack on both Israel and the United States for adopting hard defensive steps.

Totally ignorant of the deep ties between the two countries, she asserts Israel will one day attack U.S.

By The Simon Wiesenthal Center

 

The Simon Wiesenthal Center today criticized Alice Walker’s new book, The Cushion in the Road for both its ‘hysterical’ and historical revisionism.

Simon Wiesenthal Center

In reacting to the book, Rabbi Marvin Hier, the Center’s Founder and  Dean said, “I must say, Alice Walker is the princess of historical revisionism, telling us that she fears that one day, ‘Though all focus appears to be on which Arab nation is likely to strike the United States … I imagine Israel just as capable of doing us nuclear harm … because the United States and Israel, working together have done terrible things to others … and it is the nature of thieves to eventually have a grand falling out.” Continue Reading »

Op-Ed: Why France Glorifies Arab Terrorists

Why haven’t Europe’s philo-Semites, ever set up any exhibition on the real effects of Arab terrorism on Jewish lives?

By Giulio Meotti

 

The Jeu de Paume museum in Paris served as the “Einsatzstab’s”, the storage facility for 22,000 works of art confiscated by the Nazis from 200 Jewish collections in France.

Death 33

For four years, from 1940 to 1944, the Jeu de Paume became a notorious “concentration camp” for confiscated works of art. The Museum was frequently visited by high ranking Nazi officials, including the Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.

Now, in the same state-funded museum, there is an exhibition calling the Palestinian Arab suicide bombers “martyrs”.

World Council of Churches is Returning to Crusader Theology

The World Council of Churches, speaking for half-a-billion Christians worldwide, propagates blatant falsehoods and Crusader-style anti-Jewish theology in attacking Israel & Christian Zionists

By Tsvi Sadan

 

WCC

Last month, the World Council of Churches (WCC) convened in Lebanon and issued the following statement:

Palestine continues to be the central issue in the region … The persistence, after sixty five years, of continuing dispossession of Palestinian people—Christian and Muslim alike—from their land by Israeli occupation, continuing settlement of land inside the 1967 borders … is central to the turmoil in the region …. Jerusalem today is an occupied city with a government which has adopted discriminatory policies against Christians and Muslims alike …

The WCC also took aim at Christians who dare to support Israel, the reviled “Christian Zionists”:

Christians who promote ‘Christian Zionism’ distort the interpretation of the Word of God and the historic connection of Palestinians—Christians and Muslims—to the Holy Land, enable the manipulation of public opinion by Zionist lobbies, and damage intra-Christian relations.

EXPOSÉ, Italy’s New Leader: A Demagogue with a Virulent Hatred for Israel

Behind this new popularist politician’s orgy of Judeophobic vulgarities you find Europe’s old anti-Semitic hatred resurrected by a clownish trifle.

By Giulio Meotti, Italy

 

Beppe Grillo, the comedian turned politician, has just become the leader of Italy’s largest party, the “Five Star Movement” in an upset victory.

Beppe GrilloThis populist Europhobe got one fourth of the popular votes. He is the idol of Italy’s youth. He is the anti-corruption crusader. He is the guru of the Internet.

But Beppe Grillo is also a demagogue with a virulent hatred for Israel and the United States. And his popularity, despite his despicable remarks, shows that the word “Jew” has become an accepted insult once again in Europe’s public square. Continue Reading »

Do Stones & Trees REALLY Command Muslims to Kill Jews?

If a Muslim should see a Jewish child hiding behind a stone & suddenly a mysterious voice comes from that stone, one can safely presume that he is suffering from an auditory hallucination.

 

 

If someone tells me, “Come here, there is a Jew here, come and kill him,” I would regard this individual as a psychopath, as no rational Muslim would do that. Even if the Jewish person in question is someone who has committed a crime, he should be put on trial and sentenced by a judge. There is a legal system and he would be punished for the particular crime he commits. Continue Reading »

Far Beyond apologies: UK’s Blood libel cartoon

Which British politicians, NGOs, media, academics & trade unions have consistently helped strengthen the genocidal image that so many British hold regarding Israel?

By Manfred Gerstenfeld

 

Apologies offered by the British weekly The Sunday Times for an anti-Semitic cartoon published on International Holocaust Remembrance Day address only one, albeit major, aspect of this issue. The paper stated that publishing the drawing “was a mistake and crossed the line.” It admitted that Gerald Scarfe’s caricature had reflected “historical iconography that is persecutory or anti-Semitic.” The drawing showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall using what appeared to be the blood of Palestinians as cement.
